The USDA-NRCS is pleased to have the opportunity to continue our AISES sponsorship at the 2020 National Conference.

From student interns to seasoned professionals, NRCS employees support local conservation to benefit communities, natural resources and the nation’s economy. Our scientists, from wildlife biologists to GIS specialists, develop the tools to implement conservation that’s rooted in science and based on cutting-edge technology. With nearly 3,000 offices in communities nationwide, the NRCS provides local job opportunities in every U.S. state and territory. Put your skills and experience to use in your own backyard, or explore your options.

As an NRCS employee, your work will support our conservation mission. At the same time, you will enjoy the many benefits of federal employment, from numerous health and life insurance options to generous annual and sick leave to retirement savings.

Beyond the basics, the NRCS offers a welcoming and diverse workplace, where managers and employees alike value work-life balance. Here, employee development, training and promotion are essential to achieving our important mission.

The USDA has paid student internship, scholarship, and college-to-career pathway opportunities in many fields of study. There are incredible career opportunities available in STEM, agronomy, rangeland science, and other natural resource fields.

Learn more during our session Exploring Opportunities with the Natural Resources Conservation Service on Friday, October 16, at 3:00 pm (session #112), and be sure to visit our virtual booth.

Together, we’ll work hand-in-hand with producers, landowners and partners to implement voluntary conservation practices that work for agricultural operations and the environment, protecting both for the generations to come.
